As the new chair of the Joint Improvement Partnership, I am delighted to confirm we will continue with our work alongside local authorities on transforming adult social care for the next two years.
The JIP will work in close partnership with Improvement and Efficiency West Midlands (IEWM).
The IEWM Board has agreed a programme of support, on a pared down basis, for councils in the region until March 2013. This includes us and the work we do in adult social care; emphasis will be on improving efficiency. We will give you details of our work programme and priorities in the April issue of the bulletin.
For this month, we bring you news of the commitments made by local authorities to reshape the care market, and advances made in some of the councils’ transformation programmes.
Look out for our readership survey that will be coming your way shortly. Your views will help us shape the bulletin and keep it relevant. Returned questionnaires will be entered for a prize draw – see details below.
